Why is this stuck in 1.4? That's the best thing ever

plz my western colony need this mod!

Do you plan on updating this Mod to V1.5 ? While most Mods that add animals need no changes from each version, this one adds the custom Think Tree and other cool gimmicks, so it needs manual checking and updating.

any chance you could make it so it moves on quicker, I just had them kill a thrumbo

Would be nice if they were stopped by fences. Seems logical... although I've never seen a real life tumbleweed.

Can they breed though?

People may laugh at this but tumbleweed storms can do real damage to people's properties and are an incredible nuisance for the population and local governments to clean up.

I liked the idea at first, and it is nice to have more wood on desert maps but 99% of the wild animals on the map seem to be tumbleweeds in my playthrough.

Could there be an option to disable their hostility on caravan maps? Gets extremely annoying when you're just trying to GTFO of a site but you have to systematically hunt down every Tumble Weed since they're considered hostile because of wind.

Okay, so basically, you're saying Snake Oil... doesn't actually do anything from a chemical standpoint other than toxic build-up, but pawns are convinced it does *something* and therefore it does healing properties?

it eminds me of the old movie called Shane.

it was intentional though i may have forgotten to shrink the texture's size of the desiccated one specifically xD

I had an odd bug where the dessicated tumbleweed corpses used the graphic of a somewhat larger than normal wood log. Happened multiple times. Is that intentional to show that they are butcherable into wood or something?
(No, there wasn't a log on top of the corpse)

oooh Wind Brahmin

My pleasure, OP. I messaged you on your chat room. I hope that you can get around to answering if, if you don't mind. I've already implemented the changes and can give them to you at any time.

it's fixed now

thanks for telling me about the link :)

YES OMG

Your Crab Club image is broken. It just directs me to the Mod Market Discord chat room.

My friend, this Mod is one of the best and most fun I've seen in a long time. I love tumbleweeds!
If you have a Github account, I would like to serve you and expand the capacity of this Mod, PARTICULARLY in pertinence to the Snake Oil drug, which harkens me back to a VERY positive childhood memory centered around the "Andy Griffith Show".

It would be my privilege to do so, at no cost to you. I will speak to you on your Discord chat room, if you have the time.

There have been cases where a sea of tumbleweeds caught fire, then a tornado formed and the two combined to create a flaming deathtwister.

@Robosium It had been considered, but ultimately it likely would have been a bit too intrusive and overwhelming. Play tests were already more violent than expected 😅

in real life tumbleweeds sprinkle seeds as they roll causing even a single one to plant a whole row of new ones causing an infestation so could that become a mechanic somehow?

That's hilarious!

It might be immersion breaking (can't believe I just wrote that...) but an event where a bunch of flaming tumbleweeds roll by would be fun (Dwarf Fortress definition of fun). Perhaps tumbleroots instead - if tumbleweeds can be combated with fire, perhaps the roots are fire resistant in this reality.

No taming...yet

Can you tame them and make them a venerated animal?

Oh the things I would do to get tumbleweeds you can tame. I will have my windbrahmin farm one day

I mean.. if you make an angry tumbleweed animal that can't be tamed it may as well be on fire, too.

Tumbleweed should be a fire hazard. They should burn for a longer time and converge on player owned structures or grow zones when on fire, turning a prairie fire into a desperate battle

Time to start the windbrahmin farm.

Finally, someone who understands how menacing tumbles really are

fair enough, really interesting mod in terms of execution

not tamable

Since it's technically a creature, can you tame it?

Wait, is this an animal mod or a fx mod?

D:

no tumblefriends for you

Can it become a friend?

Join the rumble - butcher a tumble.

love me snake oil (it has opium and cocaine in it)

tumbleweed ranch here I come!!
